Rollup merge of #132799 - zachs18:str-primitive-symbol, r=compiler-errors
Make `Ty::primitive_symbol` recognize `str`
Make `Ty::primitive_symbol` recognize `str`, which makes `str` eligible for the "expected primitive, found local type" (and vice versa) [diagnostic](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_trait_selection/src/error_reporting/infer/mod.rs#L1430-L1437) that already exists for other primitives.

```rs
#[allow(non_camel_case_types)]
struct str;
fn foo() {
let _: &str = "hello";
let _: &core::primitive::str = &str;
}
```
`rustc --crate-type lib --edition 2021 a.rs`
Current nightly:
